MLB 14: The Show Announced, Coming To PS4, PS3, Vita

As announced over at the PlayStation Blog, MLB 14: The Show will release in spring 2014 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Vita.

Detroit Tigers star hitter and recent Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera is the cover athlete, and there are all sorts of planned improvements and additions. The 2014 installment will feature the following highlights:

-- You can now carry over your saves to future versions of MLB The Show. MLB 14 The Show lays the foundation for year-to-year saves, meaning you never have to worry about starting your Franchise or Road to the Show seasons over!

-- For some of you, full 9-inning baseball games may be too long for your liking, so we’ve created an all-new Quick Counts option, which utilizes generated pitch counts allowing gamers to play through full games faster than ever. Realistic statistics in this shortened gameplay experience have not been compromised. Users will now be able to play a full 9 inning game in less than 30 minutes, essentially cutting traditional game times in half.

-- We think Road To The Show is the deepest, most realistic single-player experience in sports video games, and we’re making it even better. A few of the new features include a new advancement system, new intuitive player creation process, and all new pre-draft prospect showcase.

Lastly, they say they'll be using the power of the PS4 to enhance those "big moments" in baseball. The developers will also take advantage of the Dual Shock 4's Share capability, so you can show off to your friends. You can probably expect MLB 14: The Show to launch some time in early March, as most past entries have done.
